Should I sell my Bee to fund a double buggy?

I have a Bugaboo Bee and a Maclaren for DD (11mo) and I'm expecting number 2 in February. I will need a double because the age gap will be 18 months, but sometimes my Mum looks after DD so I was thinking of keeping the Bee for days that I might just have the baby.

But then they brought out the Bee+ and now I'm thinking that the resale price for the Bee will be a lot less in a year's time than it is now. Looks like they go for around £250 on eBay at the moment. The Maclaren I have is not from birth though, so for 3 months if I just had the baby I would be pushing it around in a side-by-side double (planning on a double Nipper 360 if that's relevant).

So what would you do?

Sell the bee and mac, buy a Bee plus with buggy board and a second hand double nipper for when you've got both DC.

had similar issues but owned phil & ted and maclaren. Was planning on selling p&t to fund nipper 360 double (toddler too tall for p&t with newborn) but then DH pointed out that would only want to buy it back when we no longer needed nipper double as DD1 walking everywhere and there would also be plenty of times when i only took 1 child out.
If it helps we have P&T original E3, paid £260 for it new 3 years ago and they still go for about £180 on ebay and there has been the sport, dash and vibe since so your Bee won't necessarily decrese that much.
BTW got nipper with tripple points and 20% off from boots, not used it yet as DD2 due oct but have built it and looks a great piece of kit!

Hmm I'm liking the idea of a second hand Nipper. I love the Maclaren, definitely not selling that to get a Bee+ but I could probably justify keeping the Bee if I got a second hand Nipper.
